Description
The Northwest Logic PCI Express Complete core combines the PCI Express core and PCI Express back-end module, creating a complete, easy-to-use PCI Express solution.

The PCI Express back-end functionality implements a complete back-end design that includes:

High-performance, multi-channel DMA engine that can be easily connected to SDRAM and other data sources
Complete target interface including packet decoding and generation of read completions while providing a simple user interface
Very simple, fixed-timing register interface for connection to user's registers
Using the PCI Express Complete Core eliminates the need for developing and implementing a separate back-end module, significantly reducing development time and risk

The PCI Express back-end functionality can also be licensed separately in source code, enabling you to customize it to your specific requirements.

The core is provided with PCI Express verification suite that emulates a root complex device enabling end-to-end simulation of a PCI Express design prior to use in hardware. The core has been extensively verified through ASIC-level test methodologies and has been integrated in a wide variety of applications.

Also available from Northwest Logic are PCI Express development boards that you can use to quickly prototype a complete PCI Express system. The PCI Express reference design, driver, and GUI are provided with the board.

Northwest Logic also provides customization and integration services to produce complete designs or sub-systems."
